Hey guys,
I finally have a solution to that old problem that all of us have been having. What to do with a spare VPS. As we can all relate to, it is never nice knowing that you have VPSs lying around doing absolutely nothing. I was looking through some cluster computing and I came across this site:
boinc.berkeley.edu/
What it is is a open source network of clustered computers where you can give up your spare computer's resources (or VPSs in this case) towards projects that you choose. The projects are normally science related, so you can put your server towards decrypting messages from the 1940s all the way to finding equations that will help modern day issues.
This looked pretty awesome to me since I did want to put my spare resources to some comunity use. So, if you have any spare VPSs that you want to put to good, set them to some tasks over at Boinc.
Just to let you know, I am not affiliated with Boinc, but I thought it looked amazing and solved the issue of what to do with a spare VPS
